C-A Acquisition Corp. vs. Hyperion Ent.
If you have been following the legal dispute between Cloanto and the Amiga parties with Hyperion then you might be interested in this update:

Source When this was disallowed, so to speak, C-A had to file their own lawsuit. As you can see, the main case still concerns the contract. The additional case is focussed on the trademarks. It may seem like the main case is going backwards, since the response yesterday is to "ANSWER to47 Amended Complaint" which was actually filed last year. Reference to #47 from December 29, 2018 #6 |

Now, anyone care to make an educated guess why Hyperion refuses to accept service and refuses to authorize their U.S. lawyers to reply? Consequently, no appearance has been filed by anyone on behalf of Hyperion... Plaintiffs’ request is not sought for purposes of delay, but rather due to the fact that Hyperion has declined to accept service. Plaintiffs believe that service of the Summons and Amended Complaint was effected on August 20, 2019, but counsel has not yet received a certificate of service from the Belgian bailiff. |

So how are things going? I have no idea what any of these comments mean. I've tried to read some of the PDF's but I don't understand any of them either :P

The lawsuit war is still going on. Both sides (Amiga Inc. and Hyperion) will have to prove that the other broke the settlement agreement first in order to win. And the winner will most likely bankrupt the loser and get all Amiga IPs under one roof. But we, as amigans, cannot make any conclusion yet, as things are still in the very early stages. |

In the document provided by SpeedGeek, it is indicated that deadlines have been extended. Thus, the story will continue in mid-December at the earliest.

The contract case has now been extended again due to settlement negotiations. It also gives a hint about the "Motion To Compel" and why it was withdrawn. Hyperion had previously failed to submit documentation of it's evidence and expert witnesses in compliance with the case discovery requirements. Hence, Hyperion's recent compliance resulted in the motion being withdrawn. Also, it's appears that all of the parties have finally been motivated to attempt to settle the cases due to very high legal costs. Last edited by SpeedGeek; 09 October 2019 at 16:13. |

Cloanto buys Hyperion, everyone gets their money, all Amiga IP is united and we go skipping into the future hand-in-hand.

Now, the next question is how much of this judgment will be enforceable outside the U.S. ? (I suspect Hyperion thinks it's completely unenforceable in the E.U. and Benelux countries). Last edited by SpeedGeek; 23 November 2019 at 00:43. |

First filing after the default judgment was filed by the clerk: "MOTION for Leave to File Over-length Motions and Briefs re: Motion for Entry of Default Judgment" This was granted yesterday by the judge, with additional information regarding length of reply. I gather this process will be followed by an actual ruling from the court. item 22 All of this seems to fly in the face of the court (Judge Martinez) speaking about expectations of settlement by end of year, no? #6 |

ORDER granting Plaintiffs'21 Motion for Leave to File Over-Length Motion. Plaintiffs may file a motion for entry of default judgment of no more than 11 total pages. Defendant's response brief (if any) shall be no more than 11 total pages. Signed by Judge Ricardo S. Martinez. (PM) Yes, I have been following this. But I don't see it as flying in the face of the court. The trademark dispute was always part of the contract dispute. However, as you previously noted, Judge Martinez refused to allow it because the parties failed to act with "Due Diligence" so it had to be filed as a separate case. Since, the trademark case has now been decided by Default, any "Settlement" of the contract case (if there actually is one) will simply incorporate the results of the trademark case.
